it's seconds-to-time, which is called by timer-set-idle-time, which in turn is called by run-with-idle-timer.
It strikes me that low-level time primitives should accept counts of seconds (either integers, or floats) in addition to the funky (HIGH LOW USEC PSEC) format that they currently accept.This would be cheap to add at the low level, and would remove the need for many calls to seconds-to-time, including the abovementioned one, and would mean Emacs wouldn't need to preload time-date.el. Also, doing the conversion in C would lessen the amount of timing error introduced by the conversion itself.
